21-2. AutoCAD MODELING POLYSOLID 3D draw

PLOYSOLID command on the MODELING toolbar is used to transform (convert) 2D lines in to the 3D model.

• Line
• 2D Polyline
• Arc
• Rectangle
• Circle

The lines that draw using these commands transform the 3D model and then we can process the resulting model. This command can be used for example by drawing a layout of the walls and then their conversion into 3D with the width and height for the Orthogonal projection in 3D draw.

Note that a line formed 3D object consisting of line height and width we specify. When working with this command, note the clause in the command line prompt. When drawing this order include 3D view (SE Isometric View)

Example Drawing 3D object from 2D drawings

For example, look at the image below and it draw line (LINE, POLYLINE, ARC, RECTANGLE, CIRCLE). Notice the shape of a UCS. The view is 3D - SE Isometric.

Applying the above POLYSOLID command drawn lines look like the picture below (They are transformed into a 3D model).

Command for each 3D shape in the picture above reads as follows: (after applying the command to an object, repeat the command for all others)

Command: POLYSOLID [click on the button POLYSOLID]
Specify start point or [Object/Height/Width/Justify] <Object>: H [the determination of future facility]
Specify height <50.0000>: 200 [two hundred units]
Specify start point or [Object/Height/Width/Justify] <Object>: W [widthdetermination of of future facility ]
Specify width <50.0000>: 50 [fifty units]
Specify start point or [Object/Height/Width/Justify] <Object>: O [definition of the object]
Select object: [selection of lines or polylines or arc or a circle or rectangle]

If you want you can include multiple lines that form a network drawing object. You can apply ISOLINES which specify the number of new lines. If you want to restore the original appearance numbers line simply run again and type the following number 4.

Command: ISOLINES
Enter new value for ISOLINES <4>: 50 [new line number]
Command: REGEN [update desktop - Art]
REGEN regenerating model.

Now some drawings look like as shown below

If you turn ON Conceptual Visual Style then you have this kind of layout objects.

Subcommand JUSTIFY using, when we want one line to convert a 3D object but also to extend the line on both sides.

If you click the command button POLYSOLID and specify High and Width then you can draw without having any lines on the desktop drawing and immediately in 3D. (Of course it all depends on who you choose 3D view) so you will be able to see what you draw.

With this order I usually draw in the plan (top view) and I also have included other views to smaller windows (VIEWPORTS). After you finish part POLYSOLID line and press Enter immediately can see how it looks in 3D view.

Notice that I went on line with the POLYSOLID command. I am attached to the magnetic tie points "Endpoint" of the previous line, and, considering that the lines of converting "JUSTIFY" such is my midfield wall "sit" on the half wall continuing. Therefore, you should pay attention to when drawing with this command because the line is expanding on both sides of the starting point.
